When you install Oracle Identity Federation (OIF), Oracle HTTP Server also gets installed. Oracle HTTP Server is required when using Oracle Identity Federation for enterprise level single sign-on with Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Access Manager. Although Oracle Identity Federation can function without Oracle HTTP Server, there are advantages to configuring it as a proxy for Oracle Identity Federation.
To configure the Oracle HTTP Server so that the Oracle Identity Federation application can be accessed through Oracle HTTP Server ports, you can:
Ensure that Oracle Identity Federation is installed, as described in Installation Roadmap and Installing the Latest Version of Oracle Identity Management
.
Run <Oracle_Home>/bin/config.sh
(On UNIX) or <Oracle_Home>\bin\config.bat
to start the Oracle Identity Management Configuration Wizard. Click Next to continue.
On the Configure Components screen, select Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Identity Federation.
